16th July Run .........
Discussion
d thing!Enjoyed today, was a good run out and blew some cobwebs off the M3 
Unfortunately had to leave early after my son was stung a few times after he discovered a wasps nest at the Little Chef in Builth.
Also a shame was that after we waited for all to leave the place (after running to get Savlon cream for the stings), as we left to head home our route clashed with the planned route it seemed and we took a couple of people on the way back to Carmarthen
hopefully you guys made it back to the pack.
Some cracking cars out today, noises were ace so any videos/pics then please post as I didn't get much of a chance to take any myself.

Loved the run today. Some awesome cars, great company and amazing roads. Loved following the Rapide over the A4059 and the run from Brecon to Builth. I had a load of fun with Jack in his lovely s2000 and Jaime in his mx5. Also, the 991 Gt3 being chased down the A470 by the monster GTR at Merthyr made me smile. My Z4M felt great and it was a pleasure to come along today. Cheers for organising it 
Lovely to chat to many of you and thanks for organising Earl Grey. Couldn't stay long this time (and shame on my 4 Aston mates for choosing the lie in!)
What were you in Nickrex? Remember a couple of nice cars as I struggled to restrain those 12 ponies absolutely chomping at the bit 😉

Ha, yeah, we were not flat out by any means but the sight of your Aston and the noise made the run over the A4059 a great drive. I was in the Z4M Coupe What were you in Nickrex? Remember a couple of nice cars as I struggled to restrain those 12 ponies absolutely chomping at the bit ??

well organised once again and a brilliant turn out.
glad the weather held out for us.. really opened the taps up and let off a little steam.
Chap with the M3 saloon i followed - stunning car and noises, i hope your boy didn't get too badly stung by those bees in builth! Cracking seeing the GTR chase the GT3.

finally got round to cobbling together (very amateurishly) some of the gopro footage i recorded from the run. Had an awesome day in the grey TVR with TyreTread, that mountain hairpin needs re visiting on a drier day!
